The increasing integration of educational technology (EdTech) into the language learning process has significantly transformed vocabulary acquisition. This study investigates the role of digital tools such as mobile applications, gamified platforms, and interactive learning environments in enriching students’ English lexicon. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, we evaluated vocabulary development among secondary school students exposed to technology-based instruction. The results indicate a notable improvement in vocabulary retention, motivation, and active usage. These findings highlight the potential of EdTech to reshape traditional language teaching methodologies.
